I have been away from her now and for a long time  
                                                                   D  
and I've lived a life I though that it should be  
      G                                 C                    G

G                       C                             G  
I think I'll take a train right early in the morning  
                                                     D  
Just to see how far I get along the way  
             G                           C                 G

                                C           D7   G C G 
So I guess I'd better wait another day.

It's a matter of time before I go back there

A matter of time - Lord, before I go home  
G Am7 G          C                                      G  
it' a long way I know and the going ain't easy  
                         D  C       D7            G  
She'll see me again it's a matter of time.
